I visit the forums section a lot but I never ever really contributed anything. So today I'll give a lil something back to the communitee. I made a couple MP3 ringers last night and tried them out today and last night and they work amazingly well. They're pretty loud which is a huge plus over most MIDI ringers. I'll be making more over the time I have my treo. I always like to change things around and keep it fresh so I end up changing my ring tones pretty often. If everyone likes them enough and you want me to post more I'd be happy to. Just let me know what you think...

OK, I tried endlessly to get a .zip file uploaded here, but to no avail. I have some mp3 snippets I use for ringers, reminders and voicemail and I am happy to share. Hip-hop isn't my thing, but I do use some of my favorite rock and ballad mp3's good for any occasion, noisy or quiet. Some of the louder ringers like Queensryche's Tribe, (used to identify family members calling), Anybody Listening, and Burning Man .mp3s can scare the crap out of me unless I am outside or in a noisy environment. I use the tunes like like Geoff Tate's Every Move We Make (EMWM) or the intro to America's Ventura Highway when I am in my office or other quiet locations. I use the silly Family Guy and Monster's Inc. soundbites simply because I am a wacky guy. Check em out and use em if you'd like. In case anybody is wondering or cares, I use LightWav to play 'em, and GoldWave to create 'em.

Well, if you've got kids like me, we sit and laugh at that goofy looking old guy dancing around on that Six Flags commercial (I know, it's actually some young guy in a mask or good makeup!). So here is an MP3 ringer to amuse your kids (I set it to play when they call me). Now, all I need is an animated GIF of that dancing guy to play when the call comes in.

I would suggest you try Phone Technician and make sure you also have Pocket Tunes a.k.a. pTunes as your mp3/wav player. Have fun!

Thx... Phone Technician works perfectly... I like it over mp3Ringer because of price and slightly better options (but thx anyway!).

For anyone interested, I've included the 2 rings below (not bad for recording them from another phone through SoundRec - use at volume 5 and you can't really hear noise).

My remaining question is... is there a way to store the mp3 on the Treo instead of the SD card ? The mp3 is only 47kb. My card is packed and I may not always have it in. I tried transferring it over via Palm File Browser and it looked like it was successful, but I can't see the file via FileZ afterward. Thx.

How do you get the mp3 into RAM in the first place ? Does mp3Ringer import it itself ?

there two ways. one way is to use our windows app to convert the wav/mp3 to palmOS pdb then hotsync. the app is included with Lightwav distribution zip file. second if to take a file from the card and convert it to ram. you can do this both in lwav and mp3Ringer.

i have lightwav.... it sucks... never works right...
i have callsheild.... it has problems stopping the mp3 when the call is answered...
i have technician.... works great... but only plays one mp3 ringtone for all....

callfilter allows individual mp3s for contacts for ringers and sms.... plus has call notes built in. also seems to be the quickest and more seamless of all of them....
